As someone about to celebrate her second anniversary of survivorship, I can tell you it’s an odd lake in which to paddle. On the one hand, we’re thrilled to have beaten the big C and wouldn’t trade it for anything. On the other hand, survivorship has it’s own issues. Mine are relatively minor – joint pain, fatigue, fogginess – but others have far more life-limiting issues.

As this article shows, the cancer world is listening. The Women Survivors Alliance will host its inaugural National Women Survivors Convention (www.survivorsconvention.com) in August this year. Women will come from all over the country to network, learn and share. I can’t wait!
